“The reality is society prefers it this way. They want men expendable to fight the wars, to put in extra money for taxes and services and then to die off as fast as possible so as not to consume any what is put in.”

I never thought about it that way Alan, but you could be right and that is food for thought. My father never took care of his health and died at 52; my mother took great care of her health and has just died at 94……men die far too young and in the UK the biggest cause of death in males under 50 is suicide. That is just terrible.

Like the author I like men very much, have had my share of sexual assault and harassment but have met so many more wonderful men than the other kind that my positive view of men is unchanged. I am sure most men have met a few crazy, abusive women too.
